The Longhorn Network Launches Today, And Literally Nobody Can Watch It

http://deadspin.com/5834774/the-long...y-can-watch-it

Tonight, at 6pm Austin time, the controversial Longhorn Network will go on the air. 24-hour coverage will start immediately, giving you the latest and most in-depth UT coverage available. And there's absolutely no way for you or anyone else to watch.

Go ahead, check your local cable provider. Nothing. That's because, despite months of hype, ESPN has had trouble signing contracts with cable operators. And they're scrambling: just yesterday, Verizon FIOS agreed to a deal, but that won't go into effect until September 1st. Time Warner Cable, which covers most of Austin and the proximate viewing area, is in negotiations, but nothing's close to done. Comcast has barely had talks with ESPN, and DirecTV hasn't shown interest.

The holdup can be traced to two things. First, ESPN wants a 40-cents-per-subscriber fee from cable operators across the South. That might be a bargain in Texas, but are there enough Longhorn fans in New Mexico or Louisiana to make it worth the cable companies' while to raise prices? Second, the debate over airing high school games has come late in the negotiating process, and the cable companies who thought they were getting that programming are lowering their offers.

ESPN has confirmed that the channel will not stream online, so there will be literally no way to watch the Longhorn Network. They will full programming running through the weekend and beyond, with highlights, previews and full studio shows, and unless ESPN's business folks pull some last-second magic, it will be a costly exercise in futility.

I like how 2 teams have left the conference while another has announced it'll be looking somewhere else and Nostradamus here says Notre Dame will be looking into joining The Big 12. ROFL

People who play the Macarena at Bar Mitzvahs for a living have a certain level of authority. When they speak, you heed their words. Were I you, I would thank him for the honest assessment and begin rethinking my life.

Alternatively, you could laugh at him for being a short, fat, pasty ginger who plays the Chicken Dance professionally. Either way, really.

I TOTALLY PREDICTED NOTRE DAME TO THE BIG 12!!!!!!111

Billay got me again you hideous red-headed troll.

Too bad I have blonde hair. You calling other men hideous while rocking an avatar with a bunch of men in underwear totally isn't gay or anything.

The Big 12 is like a car wreck. You don't want to look, but you can't help it.

But,but,but I thought the ND asswagon was coming to save the day

Less like a car wreck and more like a Nebraska fan circle jerk. Of course you guys don't really care. ;)

And we're off. NY Times is reporting that A&M has informed the Big 12 they intend to leave the conference.

More proof that Tom Osborne was right. You now have a Texas team that's decided it won't put up with this conference.
